Yo yo S1KR....Welcome!

As you have already been assured, there are tech solutions for automating many aspects of proper husbandry. And as you have also noted, they can be costly. You have found R2R and I'm sure know the value of the information available round here. Dive into the DIY section for some potential costs saving ideas from controllers to feeders. Also look for local reefers and clubs for some assistance when you travel. Start up a build thread and don't hesitate to ask any questions here!

Welcome to R2R! An inexpensive web cam is definitely a good investment when you are traveling. It is also worth it to acclimate your fish to pellet food so that you can incorporate an auto feeder when you are out of town and unable to offer them more variety.

Hello, Been a successful 'freshwater guy' for many years and always aspired to keep a reef. After much information gathering both lurking here and various sites on youtube, I'm cautiously optimistic it will be (a lot of !) money well spent on the hobby/passion of aquarium keeping that I love.
Looking at reef ready style unit. possibly Red Sea xl 525. Gear list is in the works too.
Being retired, it will afford me the commitment of time to attempt to get it somewhat right!
With the 'Coronapocyplse' in full swing, travel is out of the question at this point which leads me to a future concern. My intention is to run as much of an automated system as possible but will eventually leave for a few weeks a year. Aside from a major catastrophic event, am I dreaming in technicolor to think I can safely leave my pets? or will I be housebound ? Not sure my wife will share that commitment... Could possibly get someone in to just check on things but they wouldn't have the skillset to do much else.
Thanks! Looking forward to sharing my journey and amassing as much information from you all.

Welcome!
